Abstract:Taking a proposed long-span pedestrian steel bridge in Xindu District of Chengdu as the research background, a three-dimensional model of the whole bridge is established through the finite element software to analyze the dynamic response under seismic and pedestrian loads and evaluate it based on design specifications. The results show that under the design seismic load, the stress in the main components of the bridge is at the elastic state. The displacements at the pylon top and beam ends are reasonable. The foundation stress is far below the maximum bearing capacity. The seismic performance is excellent. Under the pedestrian load with a frequency of 2.313 Hz, the vibration acceleration values significantly differed from those at other frequencies. The supplementary calculations show that the maximum vibration acceleration occurred at the pedestrian load with a frequency of 2.47 Hz, and the vertical maximum is 3.36 m/s2. After a tuned mass damper (TMD) is designed and added, the vibration acceleration is effectively controlled to achieve the “best” evaluation index.
